A University of Massachusetts survey of college-aged young adults seems to show that kids take their studies more seriously than their need for TV.According to a University of Massachusetts survey, four-fifths of the students surveyed said they have a television in their room at school. More than seven-tenths of the students said they watch one or two hours of television per day on average. Half of the students watch television most often in the evening, and one-third watch most often in the late night. Over three-quarters of the students watch television primarily in their rooms. Nearly three-quarters said they watch more television at home than they do at school.

11.0% said they watch less than one-hour
70.2% said they watch one or two hours of television

Students were asked to specify the average number of hours of television they watch on weekdays versus weekends. The average number of hours watched on weekends is 1.9, while on weekdays it is 2.1.

When asked what time of day they watch TV most often, over half (55.1%) said "evening," while just under one-third (31.8%) said "late night." Eleven percent said they watch TV most often in the afternoon, while only 2.5%

The majority (76.9%) of students said they usually watch TV in their room, while 17.5% said they usually watch in a friend's room.

A smile for the parents of college students. Your children are putting your money to good (and its intended) use!
